CS Lewis voice

Revisado: 01-13-24

Once you've read enough Lewis, you can begin to hear his authorship or his voice pretty clearly. I didn't know what to expect with Out of the Silent Planet, but it was nothing like I anticipated, yet fully familiar. Definitely worth the listen if you are a Lewis fan.

First Time Read

Revisado: 12-30-23

This was my first time truly loving Dickens. Between Simon Callow's performance and the exquisite storytelling, it is safe to say this rocketed up the list of favorite listens of all time.

Loved!

Revisado: 06-05-23

It is hard to imagine reading this book the first time instead of hearing it in the author's voice. I winced and grimaced, laughed and cried. This story was so real and raw and then ridiculous and outlandish.
I enjoyed every minute.

CS Lewis never disappoints

Revisado: 09-30-22

While Lewis and I do not hold to the same precise theology, he makes his points in such a way through Screwtape that I'm not sure could have been done in another voice. I especially appreciated the note from Lewis between the letters and the toast at the end.
Great performance by the narrator, as well.

Knowing the ending doesn't make it easier

Revisado: 09-29-22

Knowing the ending to this story before hearing it did nothing to damper the emotion evoked in the last few chapters and the epilogues.
What a worthy and beautiful read for a Believer.

I love Fathom Church

Revisado: 09-18-21

As a member of Fathom Church, I am thrilled that the podcast is on Audible now. The weekly messages are not just feel-good treacle, but challenging Bible-based sermons. A lot gets packed into a 30-40 minute message!

Listen at 1x or pay

Revisado: 10-17-20

I love Jim Gaffigan, but I made the mistake of listening to him narrate this book at 1.15x
Even that little bit of speed changes the timing of the jokes and makes you feel like the comedian who wrote them, didn't know how to deliver them.
I've seen him deliver most of these punchlines on stand-up specials and he definitely knows how to make an audience laugh.
Just my opinion, do yourself a favor and listen to it at 1x.

The most QUOTABLE book I've read in years.

Revisado: 01-05-19

Having not read this book in print, I now can't imagine reading it and not hearing it in the narrator's voice. The only possible improvement I could ever foresee would be for Wendell Berry himself to read it to me uninterrupted in front of a large fireplace, while I have access to a cozy blanket and unlimited snacks.
Fantastic story and fantastic performance.

Jim Dale is brilliant.

I love this book and Jim Dale's narration is better than I could have hoped. I love how the wizard world comes alive!

Favorite!

Revisado: 06-30-18

This is my favorite of the Little House series. I love the story and Cherry Jones is the perfect narrator for Laura Ingalls Wilder's stories.
Can't go wrong with this one!
